Couples Retreat: Not Exactly a Relaxing Getaway

BuzzSugar — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 17:30:11 -0700

Everyone loves a vacation, right? Beautiful scenery, tropical drinks, fun in the sun. Add a few of your closest friends and you could have the trip of a lifetime - or a romantic getaway gone horribly awry.

To be fair, the four pairs in Couples Retreat don't realize what they're agreeing to when they head to Eden East, a swanky resort on a remote island. But once the relationship boot camp begins, the friendships quickly break down, and it's often more depressing than hilarious. To see what I mean, just read more.

The movie's couplings range in age, family size, and personality, with Vince Vaughn and Malin Akerman at the epicenter. As Dave and Ronnie, they are perhaps the most "normal" of the bunch. Between Dave's demanding job making video games (hello, Guitar Hero product placement) and raising two young sons, Dave and Ronnie don't even realize their problems until they are forced into couples skill-building. Vaughn is his typical wise-cracking character, but a touch of sweetness makes his on-screen relationship with Akerman the most enjoyable to watch. You can actually believe that they love each other and aren't using the trip as a band-aid for a bullet hole.

Jason and Cynthia (played by Jason Bateman and Kristen Bell), on the other hand, are a lot harder to relate to as two type-A personalities with an undying love for organization and PowerPoint presentations. Jason and Cynthia present the idea of the group vacation to their friends as a last-ditch effort to save their marriage (promising that the therapy sessions are optional, of course). Bell is her typical adorable self, but Bateman is insufferable. His character is painfully meticulous and overbearing, making the audience feel just as suffocated as Cynthia does.

Joey (Jon Favreau) and Lucy (Kristin Davis) represent the worst of the worst: the couple that's been together so long that they don't even notice each other anymore. The high school sweethearts take the trip not as an opportunity to re-kindle the flame, but to chase skirts (or in this case, bikini bottoms) and muscular yoga instructors. Favreau gets a few laughs with his quest to get to Eden West, the "singles" side of the island, but age-wise, Davis doesn't quite fit in with Bell and Ackerman. It's also hard to laugh at characters that embody one of the biggest fears for young couples, and their ice-cold relationship is almost too realistic to scoff at.

Then there's Shane (Faizon Love), who's newly separated from the wife he still loves, but brings along his 20-year-old girlfriend for the ride instead. As Trudy, Kali Hawk steals a lot of the laughs as she yearns to drink and party all night long while her boyfriend would rather take a nap. One joke that never gets old: Trudy's insistence on calling Shane "Daddy" throughout the entire film.

With such a strong headline cast, it's disappointing that the supporting actors steal the show. I laughed the hardest at Dave and Ronnie's adorable boys (who get very little screen time) and at the motley crew of therapists and other wacky workers at the resort dedicated to making this the trip from hell.

At the end of it all, you'll get a few laughs along with some very beautiful imagery, but you might just want to put your money toward your own vacation instead.

SATC2 Girls Choose Comfort & Cynthia Carries Wonder Woman

PopSugarUK — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 04:09:00 -0700

While New York Fashion Week has taken over our attention, Sex and the City 2 has continued to shoot in NYC, and the ladies were spotted out and about on the street in Manhattan yesterday. Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall both wore their Uggs as they made their way between the trailers and set, with SJP swapping them for some stilettos later as she got into costume for filming.

Kristin Davis was looking very Charlotte in her bright pink outfit, which she teamed with some flip flops for her journey to set, holding onto a security guard's arm. Lastly, Cynthia Nixon arrived on set from makeup looking casual, and drinking from a Wonder Woman mug. It's still so long to wait for the May release date, but I can't wait - are you looking forward to it?

4 Beauty Tips From Kristin Davis

BellaSugar — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 14:00:00 -0700

Ever since we first saw Kristin Davis burst into the scene as the conniving Brooke Armstrong on the original Melrose Place, followed by her portrayal of the sophisticated, yet naive, Charlotte York on Sex and the City, I think we've all been mesmerized by her stunning, ageless looks. In fact, many of you agreed that the actress barely looks a day older than when she first became famous back in the mid-'90s. When it comes to beauty, there's no doubt Kristin, now 44, has got some fountain-of-youth secrets to spill. For the October issue of Self, for which she shares the cover with her Couples Retreat costars, Malin Ackerman and Kristen Bell, each of the women spill all their beauty secrets. Find out Kristin's at the link below.

SJP and Her Girls Go Casual in the City Before Morocco

PopSugar — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 11:30:00 -0700

Sarah Jessica Parker was a little bundled up earlier today as she reported to work on Sex and the City 2. The gray weather was a departure from their so-far sunny skies on set, but Kim Cattrall wasn't letting it inhibit her smile. Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis also arrived on set for the afternoon of filming, looking ready to get right back into their characters' typically fashionable wardrobes. We've seen lots of the foursome doing their thing in the Big Apple, but the cast and crew are rumored to be heading to Morocco once they wrap things up stateside.

The SATC Girls and Their Stilettos Take Over Manhattan

PopSugar — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 17:00:53 -0700

The four fashionable ladies of Sex and the City 2 were up early this morning to film their movie in NYC. Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall walked and chatted, meeting up with Kristin Davis and her onscreen daughter for a brunch scene. Cynthia Nixon and the rest of the girls were back in modern-day mode following the sometimes-unfortunate '80s flashback outfits. The women have been staying busy in their free time with SJP, hitting up Fashion's Night Out and Kim visiting TIFF, but now that the work week has started they are reunited with the cameras rolling.

What Did the SATC Ladies Really Look Like in the '80s?

BellaSugar — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 11:00:00 -0700

Over the past few weeks, we've seen images from the Sex and the City 2 set pouring in. While these photos include shots of the four friends dressed in the designer duds we've grown to love, we've also had a peek at some wilder looking '80s getups worn by the characters portrayed by Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis, Cynthia Nixon, and Kim Cattrall. We'll just have to wait until the movie comes out next year to find out the reasoning behind their Reagan-era hair and makeup. But in the meantime, let's take a look at what the actresses really did look like back in the day. Let's start with Carrie.

SJP, Kristin, Cynthia and Kim Go '80s For SATC2!

PopSugarUK — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 03:23:41 -0700

Earlier this week we saw Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis, Kim Cattrall and Cynthia Nixon reunited on the set of Sex and the City 2 looking super-stylish. Yesterday, however, they were all showing off some very different looks in Manhattan as their wardrobe was injected with a whole lot of '80s! Kim certainly seemed to have fun in her scene as she swore at a motorist - FabUK wants to know if you love or hate her outfit? Cynthia was looking rather dowdy as Miranda, Kristin's Charlotte was as preppy as ever, and SJP was channelling Madonna in her outfit as Carrie. This must have been a lot of fun to film - I can't wait to see it all up on the big screen! What do you think of their '80s looks?

Carrie and Charlotte Embrace Big Hair and Bright Colors

PopSugar — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 16:30:39 -0700

The fun '80s times kept rolling this afternoon on the set of Sex and the City 2, with Sarah Jessica Parker and Kristin Davis getting decked out in their retro gear. Kim Cattrall took her own trip back in time earlier this morning, as she worked in fishnet pants with a huge hairdo. It seems safe to assume that the sequel will feature some sort of flashback, giving us a chance to look back in time to when the girls first became friends during their late nights at Tunnel.
